		(2) The portrayal of King Vittorio Emanuele II as an almost "Protestant" personage was an image crafted by liberal unificationists to distinguish him from his pious Neapolitan kinsman, King Francesco II of the Two Sicilies, and, of course, from Pope Pius IX.
		That the first King of Italy died in a state of excommunication (despite some contrary claims advanced to embellish his public image) was in fact much lamented, even though the Kingdom regularised its relations with the Vatican only in 1929 with ratification of the Lateran Treaties.
		Nineteenth-century records of nobiliary creations by the Savoy kings indicate a development all but unknown in the other Italian states (the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, the Duchy of Parma, the Duchy of Modena, and the Papal State), namely the ennoblement of subjects of the Jewish faith.

		Above all King Umberto was a soldier, jealous of the honour and prestige of the army to such a degree that he promoted a duel between his nephew, Victor Emmanuel, Count of Turin[?] (died 1946), and Prince Henry of Orleans (15 August 18?7) on account of the aspersions cast by the latter upon Italian arms.
		The claims of King Umberto upon popular gratitude and affection were enhanced by his extraordinary munificence, which was not merely displayed on public occasions, but directed to the relief of innumerable private wants into which he had made personal inquiry.
